Our first Building Dreams BBQ Bash was a success! We raised almost $33,000 for our two current home builds in Hanahan and Moncks Corner! Thank you to our event sponsors: Sumter Utilities, Pinnacle Financial, Northpoint Development, SC Federal Credit Union, and Home Telecom. A huge shout out to the City of Hanahan for the use of the Hanahan Amphitheater, to Swig & Swine for the amazing barbeque and oysters, and to DJ Terry Base for the great music!

3 weeks, 5 colleges, 58 students, 3 Campus Staff, 275 ReStore Volunteer hours, and 1254 Construction Volunteer hours = lots of laughs, many memories, new bonds, and much accomplished in our ReStore and on our two current home builds!

LaShawn has been diligent with her payments and recently paid off her mortgage early! Congratulations to LaShawn for this tremendous accomplishment!
